Abstract (en)

Illumination device for a two-wheeled vehicle, comprising a headlamp (1) which is associated with a respective light source (2) and which has, defined thereon, a demarcation line (D) for the light beam emitted, first means (R1,R2;R12) for detecting the distance (d1,d2) from a fixed plane of reference points, a first unit (100) for adjusting the inclination (±°) of the demarcation line (D) of the headlamp about a longitudinal axis (X-X); said device comprising second means (S1,S2) for detecting the inclination (²°) of the optical axis about a transverse axis (Y-Y), a second unit (200) for adjusting the inclination (²°) of the optical axis of the headlamp about said transverse axis (Y-Y); a control unit (300) able to receive signals from said first and second detection means (R1,R2,S1,S2;R12,S1,S2) and selectively activate/deactivate operation of said first control unit (100) and/or second control unit (200) in order to keep the demarcation line (D) and the optical axis of the headlamp correctly oriented with respect to the said fixed surface.
